The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.
7+，爽片，节奏好，尼基塔神勇依旧，安保也忒儿戏了，保镖都是星际玩家吧，监控室的小姐姐我可以。
原来Maggie是越南难民和美国越战军人的孩子！
剧情只能给三颗星，再单独给Maggie Q一颗。
Martin Campbell的作品還是有點質量，保證了節奏的不崩，中段開始敘事語焉不詳，角色動機模糊不清，究竟被誰追殺、為何追殺，人物沒頭沒腦亂殺人，全靠著一場場沒邏輯又臭又長的文戲給霸佔了！Maggie Q終究擺脫不了美豔女殺手的形象，可惜本片動作戲敷衍稀少，毫無亮點，沒能成為自己的John Wick，還要與70的Michael Keaton硬湊couple，毫無化學反應，只覺得噁心。廢戲太多，全靠卡司撐完。
动作设计这些还是不错的，就是剧情有点怪怪的不太喜欢。结尾草草收场
迈克尔基顿又老又丑，都不如老塞缪尔，可惜了magicQ
初看海报还以为是上世纪的片子。 "kill me or fuck me?"够野。
剧情老实说没太老看明白，大概看得也没很认真，边玩手机边看，不过动作戏挺干脆，就是和炮友眉来眼去的不知道在干啥，Maggie Q都43了，还是很有魅力~
有点早期香港枪战电影的影子，对比最近john wick团队打造的一些列电影，感觉就这部层次感强一点，并非为了爽而爽，虽然一些毛病还是显而易见，但一些亮点还是不错的。
虽然是类似女版John Wick , 但是女主的人生并没有看起来潇洒，背后是个十分悲惨的故事。
业务范围很广，遍布全球。为什么要杀掉他，忘掉这一切，真是一个对赌协议啊。
评分太低，给个4星拉升一下吧。
又是杀手又是特工又是孤儿又是被救又是培训成全能型~
故事交待不清楚，说不清什么动机，假死理由也有点牵强，睡觉的戏实在没必要，而且也什么都没露，对，连腿都没露，差评，因为是Q粉加一星，动作音效都很棒。片尾留扣子估计续也不会有了，不太让人期待。
塞缪尔杰克逊中途下车只有两种解释，一是假死，二是合同事故，谈不拢，拍了两天素材就让其强行下车，这样就根本谈不上张力，而是担心他与剧组的关系，问题就在这里：你不能在动作片里让大咖早早潦草挂掉。
大无语，好无聊，为了看maggieQ而看，但是剧情垃圾
坦白说，这个故事的逻辑有很大的问题，直到故事结局，我也不知道穆迪装死回来之后用炸药和人家同归于尽是为什么，我甚至不知道为什么他们几个人调查海斯就会被杀，也不知道Anna一家干什么了就要被屠杀
要不是因为Maggie Q根本看不下去，不知所云的片子。看的都快睡着了。
Cliched plot, decent transnational filming, smart editing, nice mirror shots
Well.? 我们Maggie还是很好看的。Keaton老斯虽好但是总觉得和角色不太搭。好喜欢Anna在伦敦的书店。小Anna的演员挺好看的。
